About Zum Sterben schön
An unemployed lawyer from Munich, a fan of the 1860 soccer club, inherits a funeral home and hatches a plan to buy a striker for the club, which is threatened with relegation. But first, he has to get the inherited business back on track. What better way to do that than with an advertising campaign that promotes funerals as events?
Directed by Friedemann Fromm, Zum Sterben schön leans on a strong ensemble — Natalia Wörner, Michaela May, Saskia Vester — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1997.
